PNV J20422233+2712111 (updated: UGWZ:)

2017 04 13.736 UT
RA 20 42 22.33 DEC +27 12 11.1
11.1 mag (CCD, unfiltered)

"2017 04 13.736
Discovered by H. Nishimura, Kakegawa, Shizuoka-ken, Japan, using Canon EOS 5D digital camera + 200-mm f/3.2 lens. Independent discoveries by T, Kojima (April. 13.743 UT, mag.= 10.5), Gunma-ken, Japan and by S. Kaneko (April 13.754 UT, mag.= 11.1), Kakegawa, Shizuoka-ken, Japan. Nishimura writes discovered from three frames, nothing is visible two recent frames taken on 2017 April 3.749 and 11.740 UT (limiting mag.= 13). Kojima writes discovered from three frames, nothing is visible a recent frame taken on 2017 April 4.779 UT limiting mag.= 13.5). Kaneko writes discovered from four frames, nothing is visible a recent frame taken on 2017 April 11.7 UT (limiting mag.= 14.8)."

The UV source GALEX J204222.4+271210/J204222.5+271211 (NUV= 20 mag) is within 2" of the reported position of the transient.
This UV source is probably identical with the blue object SDSS J204222.39+271210.9 (SDSS DR7: g= 20.01, r= 20.12, u= 20.21, i= 20.19 mag; Gaia DR1: G= 20.09 mag).
Several other optical sources are within few arcseconds of the reported position of the transient.

(Spectroscopy and precise astrometry are urgently required.)
UPDATED: Time-resolved photometry is urgently required!

Clear skies,

Hello,

Hello,

yes, definitively there is a new object on this position and it doesn't appear on DSS images, at least with this magnitude. I tried to take a low resolution spectrum (R=888) but I only see a confuse continuum with a maximun intensity near 4000 A.

Traitement with a gaussian filter shows only weak Balmer absortion bands at 4343 A (H-gamma) and 4101 (H-delta). This spectrum remembers me a dwarf nova (UGSS or similar) near the maximun.

All the best,

Fran

WZ Sge-type dwarf nova? Time-resolved photometry is required.

PNV J20422233+2712111 seems to be a dwarf nova in outburst rather than a classical nova. The outburst amplitude is apparently very large (9 magnitudes) --> probably UGWZ subtype.

***** Time-resolved photometry is urgently required. *****

Seiichiro Kiyota's follow-up report

2017 04 14.4709 UT

Photometry results were B=11.72, V=11.91, Rc=12.00 and Ic=12.18 with 0.43-m f/4.5 CDK Astrograph + FLI-PL6303E CCD (T21, iTelescope.NET) at Mayhill, NM, USA. It has rather blue color. So it might be dwarf nova. My image is available at

PNV J20422233+2712111 Sequence available on VSP

A sequence for PNV J20422233+2712111 was uploaded to VSP this morning. Be aware that the target is only about 3 arcsec separation SE of the centroid of  a 17th magnitude star.

Superhumps detected!

This star was observed with the 14" robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project in Italy.
After two hours of observations, we see this transient is clearly showing 0.1-mag large superhumps with period of around 90 minutes. More details will follow.

OT J204222.3+271211: superhump period

(PNV J20422233+2712111 --> OT J204222.3+271211, our policy is not to use PNV for an apparent non-nova)

Tamas Tordai has reported observations and detected one superhump. ... We have received observations during the early superhump phase but we have not yet detected confident early superhumps.

Colin Littlefield and Stephen Brincat have reported observations. The superhump period is 0.05481(2) d. We need more observations, since each run has not been long enough to exclude an alias. Littlefield's data on Apr. 18 already showed superhumps (likely stage A rather than early superhumps). We will examine them after more data become available.
